This indicator illuminates when the auto defogging system senses the moisture on the inside of the windshield and operates.
The Auto defogging system addresses excess moisture on the inside of the windshield in stages. For example, if auto defogging does not defog inside the windshield at step 1 Outside air position, it tries to defog again at step 2 Operating the air conditioning.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the
windshield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward
the windshield
